better comp than Haye ibrogimov, peter x2, chambers, brock Haye has an uphill battle due to size difference. my point is that Haye hasn't shown anything at heavy that indicates he can hang with the heavies, let alone the super heavies.
This is where I am (apart from the Zante part). But if Haye has the same tactics he had against Valuev I dont think the judges will set it his way this time. To be honest I had Haye losing to Valuev. You have to throw punches to beat the champion.
Haye IMO does not seem to punch that hard. Oblique reference but his punching style appears reminiscent of Frans Botha in K-1 WGP 2006 (Ps2). Otherwise they are not that similar of course. Some license in the creation of videogames (and men) I conclude. Does Haye display an unnaturally "flat" glove when he punches? Hard hitters tend to employ a more rounded glove, perhaps naturally.

Wlad should win the fight since has all of the physical advantages and weight advantage, but Haye is a proud champion himself, and he's taking a big risk in this fight. Wlad by late rounds stoppage, but I'll be rooting for tbe smaller Haye.
the only way haye wins is avoid that right hand all night..... it aint happening im afraid.... Klitschko KO 6
As someone who hates and routinely trolls both.... Wlad and not in a difficult contest either. Huge size advantage, better lead, harder hitter. Haye is a little faster and hits pretty damn hard but he has mediocre stamina, middling finishing ability at HW, and isn't nearly as good at slipping and avoiding shots as he thinks he is. He will be caught and killed.
I would call myself neutral, but I want Haye to win, but if you put a gun to my head and told me to pick the winner, I'd say Wlad. Really this fight is a mismatch
Wladimir b'cause he has big physical advantages and the experience to make use of them in high profile fights against flashy, big punchers such as Brewster, Chagaev and Ibragimov. On the other hand, the much more pleasing and exciting Haye is sufficiently unexperienced at this weight class and with his present weight to present more risks to his opponent than to himself. Scrappy fight, a lot of clinching, a lot of heymakers missed by a mile, UD for Wladimir and nothing proved whatsoever.
I much prefer Haye's style (except against Audley, that was absolutely disgraceful) but Wlad is simply levels above him. This is a total mismatch and Wladimir can end it whenever he feels like it.
